Last weekend, we started the season for our work horse courses with two one-day workshops held here on our smallholding. On Saturday, people gathered in wonderful spring sunshine to learn about the basics around work horses. The day finished in the field, where everybody took to the reins, guiding Winnie and Henry hitched to the harrow.On Sunday, again in beautiful sunshine, 5 more people came together to find out about how to start training a horse to work in harness. In the afternoon, horses and humans took to the field to set some potatoes. This was a great opportunity to learn about the practical application of work horse skills, and for some, it was the first time planting spuds at all - so plenty of new experiences.Anybody interested in attending a course, go to our "courses" page to find out more!
